Growing old?

   The new Crafty Cardmakers  challenge has the theme 3-2-1. The choice is yours but we want to see one of something, two of something else and three of another.
   I have chosen to use one image stamp using a stamp from Acid Drops And Whatnots temptation set and coloured it using Promarkers.
   I have used two sentiments taken from the same stamp set.
   Finally I matted and layered it onto three different coloured mats - black, red and white.

   I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
   Penny Black and More - feminine
   Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - anything goes
   Digi Choosday - anything goes
   Passion For Promarkers - lots of layers
   Scrapping 4 Fun - ladies
   Catch The Bug - anything goes
   Always Fun - female or mum
   Penny's Paper-Crafty - anything goes

Waste of make up

   The theme for the challenge starting at Crafty Cardmakers today is shaped cards. 

   I used a Spellbinders grand big scalloped circle die to create an easel card. Using the same size die I cut out black card and trimmed it, attaching the trimmed edge to the edge of the easel card base and the main part to the front of the card. I then cut two scalloped circles from stripped paper from Papermania and attached one to the base and the other to the front of the card.

   The image is from Acid Drops and Whatnots stamp set 'Waste of Make-Up'. After colouring it using Promarkers I cut it out with a circle die and matted it onto a circle of black card.

   

   To form the stop for the card I stamped the sentiment onto white card which I then cut out using a Spellbinders large classic scalloped circle die. This I then matted onto black card before attaching to the base using foam pads.

Another birthday

   I have often looked at the stamps from Acid Drops and Whatnots. As their description says they depict 'life but from a slightly different angle' and I think that the images and sentiments require little being added to them so they lend themselves to making some quick cards.. This one from the 'Do Come Again' set I could nolonger resist buying.
   I matted white card onto black card and fixed two rows of black ribbon round it before matting onto a further piece of white card. The image was coloured using Promarkers and after matting it onto black card I attached it using foam pads. The two corners were stamp in black ink using a stamp from the set. The sentiment, also from the same set was stamped onto white card and matted onto black. Finally I added a bow to the lower of the two ribbon bands.
